PowerBait and Gulp!
(continued)
Saltwater Gulp! 5-inch Swimmin Shad:
The Powerbait swimbait shad already existed but now we have the
Saltwater Gulp! Swimmin Shad that'll be even more effective. The new Saltwater
Gulp! Shad features a high-vibration tail and a unique side to side kicking
motion that triggers reaction bites from all saltwater gamefish. And of course
it has Berkley's deadly Gulp! attractant that'll get fish to commit to the
strike.

Introducing the Gulp! Swimmin Shad
What's really nice about these new baits is that
these Swimmin Shad are sold in a tray designed to keep the entire body and tail
in perfect shape before you put them to use. Take it out of the package the
plastic swimbait will run true and generate effective actions. Three Swimmin
Shad come in each package and will retail for $6.99.

Pre-rigged micro-tubes aren't new and have been effective on trout and panfish
for years. But wait, make these with the addition of Berkley's PowerBait and
anglers have an even more deadly combination. Introducing the PowerBait Atomic Tube that's
pre-rigged with a lead-free jighead and has cut tentacles for added action.

finessing for trout and panfish. A pack of 10 Atomic Tubes or a pack of 5 Atomic
Teasers can be had for $4.29.

PowerBait Beetle Spin Mullet: The lure
designers at Berkley took one of the most successful freshwater baits, the
Beetle Spin, and reworked it for saltwater applications. Introducing the new
Berkley PowerBait Beetle Spin Mullet, a lure designed for shallow redfish and
bass but works equally well with deeper retrieves.
